Nicole Scherzinger and her pro partner, Derek Hough, won Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night, an experience that left the Pussycat Dolls singer in a state of shock.

Lewis Hamilton is renting two houses in Los Angeles so he can be near Nicole Scherzinger.

The British Formula One driver - who recently reunited with the Pussycat Dolls singer - is renting properties in Melrose Avenue and Park La Brea so they can be together as often as possible,despite their hectic careers.

A source said: "Lewis is determined to give their relationship another go. It unraveled before because they were never together in the same place, which made seeing each other very complicated."

Nicole has signed up for 'Dancing with the Stars' - where she has been partnered with Cheryl Cole's friend Derek Hough - and Lewis wants to be able to spend as much time with her as he can while she remains in the show, which is filmed in Los Angeles.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Depending on how well Nicole does in the show, she could be in Los Angeles for months.

"Lewis likes a bit of variety so he's opted for two properties, a secluded house in Melrose and a swanky penthouse near his favorite shopping arcade, The Grove."

Earlier this week, Lewis admitted he and Nicole were determined to make their relationship work this time.

The racing champion - who rekindled his romance with the pop beauty after the pair split in early January due to work pressures - said: "You make it work, you do all you can, you know? When something is worth it, you do it."

Nicole Scherzinger has confirmed she is going to be joined by a host of new Pussycat Dolls.

The singer has seen two members of the girl group, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, quit in the last week but rather than be worried for the band's future Nicole is excited about the newmembers coming in.

Nicole - who has been in discussions with group founder Robin Antin about the incoming members - said: "We're going to have a new cast of Dolls. And I'm excited."

The 31-year-old pop beauty has been in the studio working on new material for the next Pussycat Dolls album and insists fans should start getting excited.

She added to MTV News: "Right now I've been in the studio working on music non-stop. We're going to have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there, but that's going to be late this year.

"I'm still Nicky Doll. And I'm just ploughing away in the studio making music that I love."

However, not all of the tracks Nicole is currently working on will definitely make the next Pussycat Dolls album.

She explained: "I don't know if I'm going to put all the new music out under my name yet or if it's going to be perfect for the Dolls.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to make great music for the fans."
